Montana Supreme Court

Del Duca v. Skydancer

July 22, 20252025 MT 156

Summary

The Court vacated the dismissal of Del Duca’s emotional-distress claims and remanded because the District Court’s order did not identify the grounds for dismissal with sufficient particularity. The unexplained order also prevented meaningful review of whether the court properly treated the matter as a pleading dismissal or converted it to summary judgment and whether denial of leave to amend was an abuse of discretion. The Court did not reach the merits of the claims or the remaining appellate issues.
